Very nice place. The 34 acres of garden tended with love. Glad I went early and had time to wander around. Hospitable owners - Les and Amanda! Will be my first choice in the area, if / when I come back here

Thank you so much for a serene, "me time" week-long holiday. Hosts, were attentive, welcoming and respectful, thank you Amanda & Les. Situated in the middle of know where, but well worth the drive. Amongst the natural beauty of the forest and as though a welcoming committee of south African animal sculptures was certainly a conversation among my whanau. The accommodation certainly exceeded my expectations. Warm, clean, spacious and all the utilities necessary to enjoy a wonder stay. Enjoyed meeting other holiday makers too. I loved my stay, thank you! Ngaa mihi ki a koutou!

Absolutely lovely hosts. Amanda and Les are so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful gardens to explore. Lovely confortable bed. I would happily stay again. I really enjoyed the hiking around Taranaki and do intend to return. I wanted a quiet solo trip and Te Popo Gardens did not dissapoint.

A lovely rural oasis with 36 acres of indigenous forest (in an area that has been thoroughly cleared). Beautiful gardens with animal sculptures. We just passed through on a rainy day but loved chilling there. Owners are super nice. Highly recommend

Warm welcome from friendly and relaxed hosts. Our studio was the Elephant room - spacious but quite dark. The surrounding gardens fascinating with all the life size African animal sculptures with interesting info boards on each one. Breakfast basket supplied - even had gluten free choice and we were offered dinner which was a lovely traditional South African dish.
